Single for sure! I know I'm in the small minority that feels this way; however, when you've been as single as long as I have, you really are happier!
Having been in bad previous relationships, and having even worse luck with dating probably doesn't help how I feel on the matter.
When people ask me how or why I'm happy single (and believe me, I get asked that a lot, especially as I get older), I list all the pros of being single- things people in relationships forget or don't get to enjoy as much as when they were single.
I only have to worry about myself. I can spoil myself without feeling guilty. No drama, no heartache, no risk of being cheated on or lied to.
Yes, being in a relationship can be great! If it's with the right person. Otherwise you're better off single until you find the right person to compliment you.

No LIE = No drama, no fighting, no crying, no confusion, no heartbreak and no problem.
LIE GIVES BIRTH TO THE ABOVE MENTIONED THINGS.
Things would have been simple if there were no lies.
These liars have ruined the reputation of relationships.
I think that if I found a woman who was great for me, I'd be a much better person. Perhaps more motivated to look/feel better.
The few times I've had a relationship, I think that I was a lot better a person, when it was good. I was still the same guy, but maybe a bit "enhanced." Like a little less stressed and a bit happier. I had, for the briefest amount of time, someone who seemed to support what I was trying to do in my life.
There are so few people who support ANY my dreams in ANY significant way. Even the people who tolerate it seem determined to see me fail. Having someone else to back me up that I'm not wasting my life would be a really good thing for me, but since I don't see that, and meet very few people, it's going to be a tough find.

My happiness isn’t determined by relationships. I will say that I do like sharing happiness with partners, feeling them add happiness to my life while I share mine with them. If anything I feel more fulfilled in a relationship because that’s a step closer to marriage and starting a family (my life’s dream). But I decided a while ago that I’m the controller of my happiness.

I prefer waking up with someone who I know very well.

There are a few reasons why Spock has been a constant nickname of mine for years. Mostly because reason and logic are forefront in my thought processes. Emotions tend to come last or at all in my over all through processes. Relationships where a hard thing for me to navigate, due to the emotional aspect of them. So I'm most happy when I'm single. I wouldn't be apposed to a relationship. But I think it would work out much better of I Vulcan woman. lol

Honestly there are days I'm super happy and at ease without a care in the world and no one bugging me when single.
In a relationship you have additional commitments and have to deal with someone else.
I would say being single does feels very good, but the lack of sex does hurt. 😏 -
It depends on the person to be honest. I carry a lot of childhood trauma so I have a little voice thats always telling me how worthless and unlovable I am. The only time that the voice is silent is when I'm in a loving relationship. Yeah I might be crazy but there are some people that need love so they can feel like a lovable person.

I just know how does it feel to be single. I'm still yet to find out what being in a relationship means.
But I would say it depends on what you want at the moment. Sometimes being in a relationship is the best for you, other times it isn't. -
I'm much happier being in a relationship with my two dogs and two cats.
Oh, wait, you are talking about being with a human. I'm happier being single. - 690 opinions shared on Relationships topic.
relationship, just seeing her beautiful face as the first thing I wake up is amazing, even cuter if she's still sleeping, just having her as a rock over everything is still worth it, being single is just miserable to me

I don't want to be alone, but I don't want to be locked down in a marriage, either. I just want a best friend I can sleep with (not a literal Friend With Benefit; I mean an awesome girlfriend).

Married.
By the way, to think that there's no fighting, crying, confusion, heartbreak, and no problems being single is kinda silly. -
I'm pretty content single but having that little extra love and feelings I get in a relationship makes life a bit more happy and enjoyable.
-
Either way. Both have their own perks. A relationship doesn't take away your freedom or happiness, or at least it shouldn't.

I am longed for affection and love. I'd like to try out love before considering.

I'm the happiest being in a healthy relationship. On the other hand being single is waaaaay better than having to deal with all that dating drama.
